How Jim Valby Met Chögyal Namkhai Norbu and Other Memories

I arrived near Point Arena at Redwood’s OZ retreat site a day after the retreat had begun. In the upstairs kitchen I asked beautiful See-Joy: “Where is the Tibetan master?” She replied: “He is sitting down there at the picnic table.” I looked but couldn’t see a master because everybody was wearing ordinary clothes. About an hour later, Rinpoche sat down under a large tree surrounded by interested students. I had no expectations. He smiled & spoke. My experience: Primordial Buddha transmits primordial Dzogchen to us fortunate practitioners in this particular time & place.
